No in depth sonic impressions from me just yet, but I just wanted to say that the HD800s are really opening up and the bass is simply getting better and better. My initial impressions, specifically with regards to the bass, may have been a bit premature, but that's what you get with initial impressions after all. I cued up some live Radiohead shows I have archived in FLAC and that lack of bass guitar hitting hard I mentioned earlier was completely demystified. The tone and weight were definitely there. These things are clearly source and track dependent.
I only spent about an hour with them this afternoon, but I was up until some time between 3-4AM this morning just jamming away! I just couldn't get enough and couldn't force myself to take them off and go to bed. I felt like Tyll looked in that one video of him in his office where he was closing his eyes and getting lost in the music. Granted I had two glasses of wine with dinner and a few beers after that but I was having a damn good time and singing out loud!
